Social Services department offering heating assistance

GLASTONBURY — With winter beginning in a few weeks, the social services department is currently taking applications for heating assistance.

Assistance with heating costs is available for qualified renters and homeowners who heat with oil, propane or wood or gas and electric utilities. The assistance is available through the state's Energy Assistance program.

The income limit for an individual is $2,709 per month or for a couple, $3,543 per month. Homeowners have a liquid asset limit of $10,000 and renters $7,000, but any assets over those limits may be added to the annual income.

For more information and appointments call social services at 860-652-7634.
